ME MENTO MORT

Stone No. 105, Face: West

In Memory
of
James Hewat Baker in Linton
who died at the age of 50 Years
and whose afhes were depo=
=sited here on the 14th Decr. m 1797

Thus ends the life of feeble man below
Nor Pou'r nor Honour, Fame, nor Youthful Bloom
Can gain a respite from the dreadful blow.
'Tis Virtue only triumphs o'er the tomb.

O that men were wise, that they
understood this, that they would
Consider their latter end.
 
                             ....... Moments size.
Heav'ns on their wing a moment we may with
When worlds want wealth to buy. Bid day stands still
Bid him drive back his [e]ar, and re=import
The period paft regive the given hour.
